All warrants issued in payment for operation and maintenance, as provided in ORS 547.150, shall be drawn against and paid out of this fund. The county treasurer shall make returns to the secretary of the board of supervisors, and shall pay over and account for all moneys collected thereon quarterly to the treasurer of the district.
